Recently, champion swimmer Katie Ledecky partnered with Make-A-Wish® to help make a life-changing wish come true for 10-year-old Laura.
Laura’s story is truly inspiring. After her cancer diagnosis, she showed incredible strength and resilience throughout her journey. Despite undergoing chemotherapy and a major surgery to replace bones in her leg with an internal titanium prosthetic, Laura’s passion for swimming never wavered. She was finally cleared to return to full activity and is back with her swim team, training hard and dreaming big!
One of Laura’s biggest wishes was to visit Katie’s training center and swim with her hero. Laura had been training to be a young elite swimmer in backstroke, and Katie made this day an absolutely unforgettable experience for her. Laura’s determination and love for swimming reminded Katie of why she fell in love with the sport and the incredible impact it can have on a young girl’s life.
